I`ve been a bit of an idiot by deciding to shorten my XT250 chain. Grinded the pin flush with the link but after some coaxing with a hammer and sharp object, couldnt get the pin out to remove a link. After struggling with it just decided to fit the chain back on the bike, but am wondering how safe it is now.

More to the point if the chain is that worn,that your removing links to adjust it, then just replace the chain.

If a chain has worn to its limit you should not remove a link to try and get more use out of it, this a dangerous and will snap. Also since you have ground the links now you should throw it away.
